After Monday's game, the most spectac-

which the Senior first water polo team,
barely conquered the Juniors by a 4-3
score, the Green banner waves triumphantly
from the gymnasium, marking the official
close of the water polo season.

As a result of the winters work, new1, , c<%_ ,,,��:��,,� n Ar��... .,�,
committees have been organized and are:
at work in many centers throughout the!
country, making in all about fifty local
groups which are now actively engaged in
recruiting students and in raising the schol-
arship fund. The South is now organized,
with Chairmen in at least ten cities, who
will recruit students in the great tobacco
and cotton industries of the Southern
States, and try to raise scholarships for
these workers to come to the School.
When one remembers the limited educa-
tional opportunities that these workers have
had, and the fact that in many of the
mills they are working from ten to twelve
hours a day, one begins to realize what it
must mean for one of these workers even
to consider going away to School. All
the weight of social tradition and of eco-
nomic pressure is against such a step, and
it is only the most eager and ambitious
girl who can hope to succeccTin her struggle
for further education. In the face of the
greatest obstacles, our students of the past
two years have gone on with their studies,,
and have interested groups of their fellow
workers. A public library, started by one
of our last year's students in "a mill town
where hardly a book has been seen before,
is only one of the many signs in the South
that it was worth while to have our group
of southern students in the School last
year.
In the middle wes^, too, there are new
committees at work in the important dis-
tricts of Gcveland, Cincinnati and Detroit.
Out on the coast, the organization has been
strengthened by our local chairmen, and
from Seattle to Los Angeles plans arc on
foot to find the most able girls for the
School this summer. Again the question
has been raised whether it is not too great
an undertaking to send students from the
coast to Bryn Mawr, and again the decision
has been that these students in returning to
California* and the Northwest have
brought back such a definite contribution
and have so stimulated the whole western
rvement for workers' education, that it
worth while to send them, until some
western college may find it possible to
conduct a similar School.
New York, Pennsylvania, New England,
Chicago and St. Louis all report that appli-
cations for the School arc coming in, and
that whenever possible these new candi-
dates have started work in some study
class as prcparatjon for the School, and
as signifying their real interest in further
education. It is the opinion of the Ad-
missions' Committee that any girl who can
attend a night class regularly, after a day
of factory work, and shows ability and
sinccritj_pf purpose, is worthy of consid-
eration for a place in the Summer School.
From a preliminary study of the applica-
tions now coming in, it is evident that the
School group this year will be of an un-
usually high type. It will be due to the

backs some difficulty. D. Meserve, par-
ticularly skillful in evading S. Leewitz, '24,
took up a position near the goal and con-
sequently had an excellent vantage point
for shooting. E. Tuttlc, '24, played a for-
midable game and enabled K. Elston to
shoot the only even goal scored during the
first half. 1924's fullbacks were successful
at obtaining the ball, but were so slow in
shooting that the quicker Green forwards
were often able to knock it out of their
hands in the act of throwing.
During the second half the Light Blue
team rallied tremendously. Hy determined
fighting, in- which they ducked their op-
ponents repeatedly, they forced the ball in
front of the Green goal and kept it there
in spite of the fierce attack of V. Corse,
and the heroic defense of F. Martin, until

ACADEMY ART EXHIBITION IS
CRITICISED BY MISS KING
FOURTH MUSIC RECITAL AND LEC-
TURE IS ON CESAR FRANCK
Mr. Surette Speaks�Pauline Taylor and
Mr. Alwyne Play
Beginning with an historical sketch of
Cesar Franck, Mr. Surette went on to give
a descriptive analysis of his Prelude,
Chorale and Fugue for the piano and his
Sonata in A for piano and violin, which
were rendered by Miss Pauline Thaycr and
Mr. Horace'Alwyne.
Cesar Franck, said Mr. Surette, started
his career as an organist in a Paris
church. During the middle of his life he
composed very bad music�no composer
has ever done worse. But in his last ten
years he seems to have found himself.
The Prelude, Chorale and Fugue which Mr.
Alwyne played, was his finest piece for the
piano. - His sonata in A is not an orthodox
sonata in that it has more than two themes.
The last movement is extraordinary, bring*

Georgiana King, Director of the Depart-

large audience .in chapel last Friday
morning.
Commenting upon the exhibition in gen-
eral, Miss King called attention to some
unusual effects in arrangement which show
that the Hanging Committee has at last
awakened, and to the predominance o:'
paintings of American Indians, whose in
spiration seems to have followed the ad-
vice of D. H. kawrencc's "Back to Monte-
zuma."
Speaking of the paintings themselves,
she continued, "My satisfaction was not

In those days there used to come to

island in the sea. That island we now
call Crete and its ancient inhabitants wf
now recognize as an artistically highlv
gifted people. It is clear that they in-

Dr. James H. Leuba addressed an audi-

"Psychoanalysis and Frcudism," explaining
the Freudian psychology and criticizing it.
It is printed below with many, orfffssions.
Mi'st'of the illustrations of the Freudian
theories have.had to be omitted.
"It is a rare exception," began Dr. Leuba,
"when a movement originating with men
of science spreads with the swiftness char-
acteristic of contagious religious beliefs�
of Christian Science, for instance, Psy-
choanalysis is such an exception. It is no
longer only the physician and the psycholo-
gist who talk alxwt repression, complexes,
the censor, transference, etc. The Freu-
dian vocabulary has become a household
vocabulary; it is heard in clubs, on the
streets, and even in the flirtatious conver-
sations of our young people. Psychoanal-
ysis is a method pf curing certain human
disorders. But the widespread interest
aroused by the Freudian psychology is not
entirely derived from a natural curiosity t
in whatever promises a restoration to
health. The opportunity it gives to dwell
ing up to a well-managed climax all the jn turn appears to have learned more than
moods, revealing them and interweaving
the whole with a cannon.

Two members of the Company of the

two o'clock, March 12, under the auspices
of the Liberal Club, on the theory of dra-
matic expression as worked out in their

tor of the School of Dramatic Expression
of the Art Company and both are members
of the cast.

on the alluring mysteries of sex-life and
in particular of its abnormalities, accounts
for much of the fascination exerted upon
man, both young and old, by the teaching
of this school. There is a third reason
for the popular success of Freudism, that
is its conception of human nature. Ac-
cording to its teaching, the mind is not
the open book which most of us take it to
be. *In addition to Jhe thoughts, the feel-
ings, and the purposes of which you are
aware as your own, there is going on in
you, and simultaneously, a current of
thoughts, feelings and desires of which
you know nothing and which determine
much of your behavior. It is this hidden
unconscious activity that causes your
tongue or your pen to slip, that produces
your dreams, and that is responsible for
strange psycho-neurotic diseases and even
for several classes of insanity. According
to this view of the mind, most, if not all
your past is ever with you�and most of
it lives a subterranean, I mean a conscious
existence of which you are not aware�
ever ready cunningly to interfere with
your'conscious purposes, so that your overt
speeches and actions are often mere pup-
pets of a deeper, more primitive, and non-
moral self, the existence of which is re-
vealed only to those who possess the psy-
choanalytical key. \
"One would rejoice at these features if
this psychology was in its essential traits
true and -helpful. Unfortunately, it con^
tains, together with much truth borrowed
from the already established psychology, a
considerable portion of exaggerations and
even of. radically false theory. The fact
that the important Freudians, here and
abroad, are not professional psychologists
should be borne in mind when one attempts
to estimate the significance of the united
opposition of men of science to much in
the Freudian theories. Freudism is an off-
spring, albeit perhaps an illegitimate off-
spring, of a great scientific movement orig-
inating with physiologists, psychiatrists, an!
physicians; a movement which, because it
seems to subordinate matter to mind, has
also provided the impetus for a variety
of powerful religious sects.
